Polyethylene Terephthalate Market overview
Polyethylene terephthalate is also known as PET is a thermoplastic polymer resin formed by the reaction of monoethylene glycol (MEG) and purified terephthalic acid (PTA). It acts as a barrier between water and moisture. Polyethylene terephthalate finds applications across varied industries such as automotive, food and beverage packaging, electronics among the others. Polyethylene terephthalate has various advantages including recyclability, recyclability, higher reliability and cost reduction.
Market Size and Forecast
Global polyethylene terephthalate market was valued at approximately USD 24 Billion in 2017, and is expected to reach USD 39 Billion by 2027.Global polyethylene terephthalate market is anticipated to exhibit CAGR of 7.1% from 2017 to 2027. PET is generally formed by the polymerization of ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid and is internationally recognized as a non-toxic in nature, lightweight, safe, strong and flexible material, which is fully recyclable. It is used in various application industries such as beverage packaging, consumer goods, sheets & films, food packaging, automotive, and construction. Increasing demand for PET containers particularly from food and beverage sector and also growing demand for frozen & processed food are major factors that drive the polyethylene terephthalate market.
The global Polyethylene terephthalate market is segmented into application, end user and geography. Asia Pacific is one the most prominent region that dominated the overall market with a share of more than 37% in 2017 owing to the busy lifestyle coupled with the increasing demand for PET bottles in Asian countries. In Asia Pacific, China is anticipated to be dominating country followed by India and Japan.
The Middle East and Africa is expected to observe a significant growth over the forecast period due to the increasing consumption of packaged food and beverages which increase the demand for polyethylene terephthalate products.
